Abstract

An optical information recording medium having a multilayer structure comprising at least a lower protective layer, a phase-change type optical recording layer, an upper protective layer and a reflective layer, on a substrate, wherein the phase-change type optical recording layer has a composition of Znγ1Inδ1Sbζ1Teω1, where 0.01≦γ1≦0.1, 0.03≦δ1≦0.08, 0.5≦ζ1≦0.7, 0.25≦ω1≦0.4, and γ1+δ1+ζ1+ω1=1, whereby overwrite recording is carried out by modulation of light intensity of at least strong and weak two levels, so that a crystalline state is an unrecorded state, and an amorphous state is a recorded state.
